And without "net play time" it's gonna be even MORE inconsistent. Some players will lose like 2 minutes of actual game play, while other may lose 8/9...

Without changing the rules to net play time (e.g. two 30 min halves) this is gonna be a MESS.
The idea is fine, but when one team has a sin bin and they start wasting time and in the end the player is out for like 2 minutes of actual game play... while in other case a player is out for 10+ (or whatever it ends up being) people are gonna be mad.
It seems the footballer wasn't that nice...
^(Someone had to say it before they lock the thread...)
The new mandatory rule, which will require clubs to report data on age, sex, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation within their organisations, is set to come into force for the start of the 2024-25 season
What?
Why should you be disclosing your gender and sexual orientation to a club so they can report it?
Is this ridiculous or am I missing something?
I want to believe it will be voluntary for the people involved and could choose prefer not to say or something, but still, sounds not right.
I have no doubt that more games and more minutes aren't helping. But this article is extremely lacking on actual significant data.
Is a 15% one time event, significant in 4 seasons? Was it a trend going up or something? Why only use 4 years and not a longer trend?
I can't access the data, since the article doesn't mention it and the linked site only has current data.
The only thing they mention is this:
This season there has been an increase of about 96% for hamstring injuries compared to the last campaign, with 53 incidents - 26 more than during 2022-23.
Overall, it accounts to a 55% increase compared to the previous four-season average. The previous high was 40 hamstring injuries during the 2020-21 season.
Which is more evidence that 1 data point isn't really useful. We know that 2020-21 had 40, then 2022-2023 had 26, then 2023-2024 has 53... How can you claim anything with data like that?
Lol, surely those 'competitive' goals against San Marino, Gibraltar, etc are worth more than friendlies against Brazil, France, etc.
I'll admit, ever since the API changes and strike, I have not really moderated this subreddit (or really any subreddit) that much, but as mentioned above, I still handle the Apple Event megathreads each time as I love experiencing the Apple Events with all of you.
So you were doing little mod work overall, someone else can create a megathread those 2/3 times a week and you can still interact "with all of us" like you love so much.
I don't care at all who is a mod or isn't.
Option 3: You were already not doing much with your mod position during most of the year. The obvious choice is right there, leave the mod team and let others pick up the slack on the events (which is a time a lot of people is probably interested, so likely other mods are available as well), or get a new mod that would actually do more than just show up 2 or 3 times a year.
You can still contribute and be a part of the community without being a mod.
